Title: Verfahren zur steuerung eines unterbrechungsfreien stromversorgungssystems sowie zugehöriges stromversorgungssystem
Inventor: PAUL WOLFGANG
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 2017-06-26
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Steuerung eines unterbrechungsfreien Stromversorgungssystems sowie ein zugehöriges, unterbrechungsfreies Stromversorgungssystem zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens. Dabei umfasst das unterbrechungsfreie Stromversorgungssystem mindestens eine Grundeinheit (GE) sowie zumindest ein Akkumulatormodul (A1, A2, A3) mit einer Überwachungseinheit (UE1, UE2, UE3). Die Grundeinheit (GE) weist dabei zumindest eine Ladeeinheit (LE) sowie eine Steuereinheit (SE) zum Ansteuern der Ladeeinheit (LE) auf und kann vom zumindest einen Akkumulatormodul (A1, A2, A3) räumlich getrennt angebracht werden. Von der Überwachungseinheit (UE1, UE2, UE3) des zumindest einen Akkumulatormoduls (A1, A2, A3) wird regelmäßig während eine Lade- und/oder Entladevorgangs ein jeweils aktueller, ladespezifischer Zustand des zumindest einen Akkumulatormoduls (A1, A2, A3) ermittelt und an die Grundeinheit (GE) übertragen. In der Grundeinheit (GE) wird der aktuell übertragene, ladespezifische Zustand des zumindest einen Akkumulatormoduls (A1, A2, A3) von der Steuereinheit (SE) ausgewertet und die Ladeeinheit (SE) der Grundeinheit (GE) entsprechend angesteuert. Dadurch wird die zwischen der Grundeinheit (GE) und dem zumindest einen Akkumulatormodul (A1, A2, A3) der unterbrechungsfreien Stromversorgungseinheit übertragene Datenmenge erheblich reduziert und die Übertragungssicherheit gesteigert.

Title: Femoral rasp
IPC: A61F2/36
Filed: 1984-10-16
Abstract: @ A femoral rasp (10) for preparing an intramedullary canal (14) for receiving the stem of a femoral hip prosthesis comprises a body section (12) generally divided into a wide proximal portion (16) and a substantially longer narrow distal portion (18). The body section (12) has a shape that generally corresponds to the stem of a femoral hip prosthesis to be inserted into the prepared cavity (15). A plurality of spaced apart cutting teeth (20) are located on selected portions of the outside surface of the body section (12) for removing cancellous tissue and bone. A smooth surface (22) on the lateral face of the body section (12) at the free end of the distal portion (18) prevents violation of the lateral cortex upon insertion of the body section (12) into the intramedullary canal (14). Removal of the body section (12) and insertion of the hip prosthesis results in a glove fit between the stem of the prosthesis and the cavity (15) formed by the femoral rasp (10).

the support, and the electrical signals which are produced by 
respective one of the semiconductor elements are coupled to 
these electrical conducting leads. Output terminals also are 
supported on the support to provide output image signals; and 
circuitry including multiplexing circuits additionally is sup­
ported on the support for processing and multiplexing the elec­
trical signal from the electrical conducting leads to the output 
terminals. Also disclosed is a method by which the X-ray recep­

Patent EP-0152046-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F7/52
Filed: 1985-02-04
Abstract: In a muliplying operation, a first partial product corres­
ponding to even times of the multiplicand can be produced 
by a shifting operation, while a second partial product 
corresponding to odd times of the multiplicand is produced 
by a shifting operation and an adding operation. In the 
described multiplying circuit, the first partial product is 
produced according to the result of a decoding operation for 
generating signals designating the partial product to be used 
in the multiplying operation. On the other hand the second 
partial product is independently produced regardless of the 
decoding result when the multiplicand is received to the 
multiplying circuit. Thus, a high speed multiplying operation 
can be achieved.

Title: Method and apparatus for carburizing steel with a gas
IPC: C23C8/22
Filed: 1985-03-27
Abstract: In the gas carburization of steel, a steel part is exposed in a carbon-enriched atmosphere of a furnace to a diffusion process to form a boundary layer with an increased carbon content, determined as a function of the distance from the surface. The values of importance for the diffusion process are determined intermittently and used as control parameters to affect the diffusion process. The flow of carbon diffusing directly through the surface of the steel part serves as the measured value. The supply of the carburizing gas is controlled as a function of this value.

Title: Method and apparatus for producing laminated products
IPC: A23G3/20
Filed: 1985-05-17
Abstract: @ A method and apparatus for producing laminated products, such as candy, is disclosed. The method includes the steps of continuously forming a semifluid sheet of a first material on a longitudinally extending conveyor, depositing a semifluid second material on the sheet of the first material, continuously rolling the sheet from the edges thereof inwardly to form a double roll extending longitudinally along the conveyor, and flattening the roll into a laminated sheet product. The method further includes the steps of forming the sheet into a «rope» of substantially smaller width than the sheet by folding the sheet over itself from the edges of the sheet and allowing the rope to move transverely across a slower mowing conveyor so that the rope bunches up on the conveyor. The rope is then flattened by a roller. The method also includes the step of causing the sheet to longitudinally fold over itself so as to form laminations. Additionally, the method includes the steps of divinding the laminated sheet product into longitudinally extending strips and transversely dividing the strips into individual product pieces. Apparatus for achieving the method is also disclosed.
